Arent Janse Pootman & Elizabeth Ackerman Arent Janse Pootman & Elizabeth Ackerman And Their Descendants By Mark R. Putnam ARENT JANSE POOTMAN & ELIZABETH ACKERMAN AND THEIR DESCENDANTS Arent Janse Pootman was the eldest son of Johannes Pootman and Cornelia Bradt and was born about 1680 in Schenectady, New York. Schenectady was then a small stockade village. The French and Indians, during the "Massacre and Burning of Schenectady" in 1689, destroyed the church records of Schenectady so there is no information relevant to the early births or baptisms of Johannes and Cornelia Bradt Pootman's children. About 1707, Arent Pootman married Lysbet Ackerman the daughter of Lodewyck Davidse Ackerman and Jannetje Jacobse Blyck. Lysbet was baptized December 7, 1684, at the Kingston Reformed Dutch Church with sponsors Elizabeth Teunis and Geritje Gerritse. The Ackerman's were associated with what is now Westchester County, New York. The Dutch word Blyck seems to mean tin worker or a tinsmith, and the Blyck family early on may have been tin or silversmiths. The history of Arent Pootman and his children seems to have centered in part around Auries Creek, New York, which is west of Schenectady and near the Mohawk River. Arent Janse Potman was reported to have been a weaver. Ackerman’s and Mabie’s The family surname Ackerman means in German field-man, ploughman, or farmer. Dutch and German word "akker" means field and probably comes from Latin "ager" from which we get the word agriculture. The name also is said to mean husbandman. Looking at the families into which the early Pootman family of Schenectady, NY, married, the second oldest son of Johannes Pootman [1644-1690] and Cornelia Bradt was Victor Pootman who married Margaret Mabie. Victor Pootman’s older brother and first born in the family was Arent Pootman who married Elizabeth Ackerman; the daughter of Lodewick Ackerman born in 1654 in Berlicum, North Brabant, Netherland; the son of David Ackerman born in 1615 in Oss, North Brabant, Netherlands; the son of Johannes Ackerman born in 1582 in Frankental, Pfalz, Germany. Johannes Pootman was likely born in 1644 in Aalburg, North Brabant, Netherlands, a short distance or about 15 miles from Oss. Johannes Ackerman had a brother born in Worms, Germany, which is nearby and to the north of Frankenthal, Germany. The major city in the Frankenthal region on the Rhine River was Mainz, Germany. The family by the name of Moebus, Mebis, or Mebes also was at an early date from the area of Bingenheim, Germany, which is right next door and to the north of Worms and Frankental, Germany. Whether this Mebes family is connected with the American Mabie/Mebe family into which Victor Pootman married is open to question. It certainly needs more review. The Mebes and Ackerman families likely lived about forty miles or so apart in Germany. In the second half of the 16th century, people in the Low Countries were persecuted for their religious beliefs and settled in Frankenthal. This was the time the Ackerman family arrived from Belgium. The newly arriving Dutch were industrious and artistic and brought with them economic prosperity to the town of Frankenthal. Many of them were important carpet weavers, jewelers and artists. The Frankenthaler Malerschule [Frankenthal school of painting] acquired considerable fame. In 1577, the settlement of Frankethal was raised to the status of a town by the Count Palatine Johann Casimir. In 1600, Frankenthal was converted into a fortress. In 1621, Frankenthal was besieged by the Spanish during the Thirty Years' War and was then successively occupied by troops of the opposing sides. This was about the time that the Ackerman’s left for Oss, North Brabant, in the Netherlands. At this time, trade and industry were ruined in Frankenthal. The town was not reconstructed until 1682. In 1689, the town was burnt to the ground by French troops in the War of the Grand Alliance. It seems significant that Arent and Elizabeth's third son Lodewick Pottman married into the Sutz family. The Sutz family was originally also vinedressers. Vine dressing seems to have been a common heritage of the families into which Arent Janse Pootman and his sons married. Arent and Elizabeth Pootman's first son Johannes married into the Sixt family whose immigrant ancestor was Philipp Sex who was likewise a husbandman and vinedresser. In 1723, Arent Potman was working among the Indians like along the route to Oswego or during the building of Fort Oswego, itself: March 28, 1723: Petition of Wm Bowen. Henry Huff, Arent Potman, Wauter Swart, Wm Sixbury, Sarah Grout and Thos. Wildman who have spent a long time at hard labor among the Indians for license to purchase land on Canada creek referred. Order on petition of Robert Walter and other officers of the admiralty court (see N. Y. col. mss, 65:63). Minute of council of Boston. Quarantine against Jamaica. License granted to Wm Bowen et al.1 The beginning of the 170’s saw an increase in trade and travel to Oswgo: Gov. Burnett one of the Colonial Governors of New York in a report to the Lords of Trade during the period of canoe navigation, estimated the number of canoes regularly engaged in the fur trade which came to Schenectady from 1716 to 1720 at about 30, and from 1720 to 1724 at about 323. As settlements grew in the western part of the State the volume of trade increased to such an extent that about the year 1740 the Indian canoe was superseded by the small bateau, a wooden vessel strongly braced with ribs, sharp at both ends, and generally manned by three men. They were paddled, poled, or towed by men along the bank or shallow places.2 While beer was consumed locally and often not transported over a long distance, wine could be exported and transported by bateaux or flat bottom boats and traded in the Indian or fur trade. 1 Calendar of Council Minutes 1668-1783, Issue 6, By New York (Colony) Council, Berthold Fernow, Arnold Johan Ferdinand Van Laer. 2 History of the County of Schenectady, N. Y., From 1662 To 1886. The primary type of alcohol in the Indian trade at this time, however, was rum, which was made in the West Indians and export to New York by the British in the Triangular Trade. Arent Pootman’s son-in-law by their first daughter Jannetje Potman was Thomas Harris who was paid for this work transporting trade goods that likely included rum on “voyages” between Albany and Schenectady, NY, to Oswego, NY, where the Dutch and British had an Indian trading post. Arent Pootman a weaver and an Indian Language Interpreter seems to have worked with the Indians at Fort Oswego, NY. Arent may also have been an Indian trader. From about 1727 to 1876 with the destruction of Fort Oswego by the French and Indians of Canada, the Indian trade was conducted at Fort Oswego, which was located at the outlet of the Oswego River and was located also on Lake Ontario. The Oswego River lead back eastward to a portage at Lake Oneida to te Mohawk River and then on to Schenectady and Albany, NY. After the destruction of Fort Oswego in 1756, Thomas Harris and English scout visited the demolition site: The French had scarcely gone, when two English scouts, Thomas Harris and James Conner, came with a party of Indians to the scene of desolation. The ground was strewn with broken casks and bread sodden with rain. The remains of burnt bateaux and whaleboats were scattered along the shore. The great stone trading-house in the old fort was a smoking ruin; Fort Rascal was still burning on the neighboring hill; Fort Ontario was a mass of ashes and charred logs, and by it stood two poles on which were written words which the visitors did not understand. They went back to Fort Johnson with their story; and Oswego reverted for a time to the bears, foxes, and wolves.”3 It was Arent Pootman’s son Johannes Arentse Potman who was the John Potman who was at the surrender of Fort Niagara in 1759 by the French to the British. Given names that were common for the descendants of Arent Pootman and Elizabeth Akkerman were Jannetje, Johannes, and Lodewyck. Children: 1. Jannetje. Janet was baptized in Albany 12 June 1709 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Albany. 2. Johannes. Born circa 1711. 3. Lodewyck. Lodewyck was baptized 14 Nov 1713 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady. 3 Francis Parkman's Works, Volume 12, 1899, By Francis Parkman 4. David. David was baptized 3 October 1715 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady. 5. Cornelia. She was baptized 12 October 1717 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady. 6. Maritje. Maritje was baptized 15 July 1719 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady. 7. Victor. Victor was baptized 29 April 1721 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady. 8. Sara. Sara was baptized 5 July 1724 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Schenectady. After the death of Johannes Pootman and Cornelia Bradt according to the law of primogeniture, their homestead in Schenectady fell along with their other property to their oldest son Arent Pootman. The homestead was on the northwest corner of Union and Ferry Streets. Arent on April 6, 1709, conveyed part of his inherited lands including the homestead to his brother Victor Pootman. By 1713, Arent and Lysbet were living in Albany with Arent working as a weaver. In 1720, Arent was a "Freeholder in Schenectady" along with his two brothers--Victor and Cornelius. June 1733, Arent leased a tract of land from Peter Brower that Brower had previously purchased from the local Mohawk Native People.

ExEcuTivE SuMMARy The Mohawk Valley Battlefield Ethnography Project was designed to document the relationships between contemporary Indian peoples and the events that occurred in central New York during the mid to late eighteenth century. The particular focus was Fort Stanwix, located near the Oneida Carry, which linked the Mohawk and St. Lawrence Rivers via Wood Creek, and the Oriskany Battlefield. Because of its strategic location, Fort Stanwix was the site of several critical treaties between the British and the Iroquois and, following the American Revolution, between the latter and the United States. This region was the homeland of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy whose neutrality or military support was desired by both the British and the rebels during the Revolution. The Battle of Oriskany, 6 August 1777, occurred as the Tryon County militia, aided by Oneida warriors, was marching to relieve the British siege of Ft.

The ore served many industries, but most notably was the primary source of steel used in support cables for many of history’s best-known suspension bridges, including the George Washington and the Golden Gate Bridge. This history of Lyon Mountain is supported by many interviews of elderly miners conducted by the author 35 $22.00 years ago. Extensive quotations appear throughout the book, 6 x 9, 224 pages Softcover bringing the story to life. 112 illustrations The book’s first section details the town’s early mining history (1870s through 1920), followed by Lyon Mountain’s years as a company town under the iron fist of mine manager J. R. Linney; the town’s immigrant population and its roots; firsthand accounts of mining jobs from long-deceased miners; the riveting story of death in the mines; the remarkable true story of the town’s Mafia-connected years; and finally, the story of the North American Champion bobsled team and the legendary Lyon Mountain Miners Baseball Team. Out of the Darkness: In Memory of Lyon Mountain’s Iron Men by Lawrence P. Gooley Out of the Darkness, SECOND EDITION, shines a light of recognition on more than 175 men who died in the iron mines of Lyon Mountain, New York. Who were they? How did they die? You’ll find the answers here in a tribute to the men who lost their lives while on the job.

" To be ignorant of all antiquity," says a popular • writer (I. " D'lsraeli), is a mutilation of the human mind; it is early associations and local circumstances which give bent to the mind of a people from their infancy, and insensibly constitute the nationality of genius." This is a truism which can not be contra- travened, and although the world is now full of books for good or ill, yet 1 venture to add another. Well, as this is only a duodecimo, may I not bespeak for it a little share of public favor ? For if it is but a small volume, it has nevertheless required considera- ble time and care to collect and arrange its minuti^. the author does not claim for it a place among classic works, which sparkle with literary gems; but he does claim for it the merit of candor.
